Fit Guide

    Learn how to take accurate measurements and understand sizing to always get the best fit when shopping online.

    How to Measure Your Body

    Accurate measurements are the foundation of finding your perfect size. Use a soft, flexible tape measure and follow these guidelines for the best results.

    Chest / Bust

    Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, under your arms. Keep the tape parallel to the floor and breathe normally.

    Waist

    Measure around your natural waistline — the narrowest part of your torso. Don't suck in; stand relaxed.

    Hips

    Stand with feet together and measure around the widest part of your hips and buttocks.

    Inseam

    Measure from the crotch seam to the bottom hem of a well-fitting pair of pants, or from crotch to desired length.

    Foot Length

    Stand on a piece of paper, mark the heel and longest toe, then measure the distance in centimeters.

    Understanding Size Differences

    Sizes aren't standardized globally. A "Medium" in the US can be a "Large" in Asia or a "Small" in some European brands. Understanding these differences will save you from returns and frustration.

    Key Differences

    • US vs EU: European sizes use a numeric system (e.g., EU 38 ≈ US S)
    • US vs UK: UK sizes are often 4 numbers smaller for women's clothing
    • Asian sizing: Typically 1-2 sizes smaller than US sizing
    • Unisex: Usually follow men's sizing standards

    Common Sizing Mistakes

    Measuring over thick clothing instead of thin layers
    Pulling the tape too tight or leaving it too loose
    Assuming your size is the same across all brands
    Not checking the specific brand's size chart before ordering
    Ignoring the garment's intended fit (slim, regular, relaxed)
